I used Cool Grey Copic markers to colour the images in. I thought it would be fun to use the Small Sentiments Set to create a conversation between the two. These sentiments are made to work with the Speech Bubbles Cool Cuts, which is one of my favourite die sets!

I foam mounted all the images to the ink blended panel. To add a bit more black, I added a strip of cardstock that I inked up with the Black Soot ink. I adhered the panel to a white card base that's approximately 3.25 X 5.5 inches.

I finished the card off with a few clear sequins, white accents with a gel pen and a bit of Nuvo Crystal Glaze on the noses and buttons.

I hope you'll join us for this challenge!! I love seeing what you're creating!! Simply visit the Create A Smile Challenge Blog to upload your project!!

Welcome my friends!! Today is a super special day as we are celebrating the 5th Birthday for Pink & Main!! I've been on the design team for close to a year and have loved every minute of it!! Michelle is such a delight as well as all her amazing products. So, Happy Birthday to this amazing company!!

Today, is also release day so the products used on my card today, are available to purchase!

There's a new interactive element die set available today called the Pull and Flip Dies. It creates a waterfall effect on your cards and is super cool! The star, present and party hat dies on this card all come from this set. In retrospect, I should have used different colours on these die cuts to make them stand out a bit more. To help a bit, I cut a Scalloped Rectangle Die from a piece of vellum and used foam tape to adhere them.

I heat embossed the sentiment (also from the Party Balloons Set) onto the vellum, then used liquid glue behind the star, present and party and adhered to the balloon panel.

I added a few Rainbow Glossy Dots for a bit of shine. If you are new to these, I highly recommend them! There is nothing else like them on the market :)

Now, onto the fun stuff...PRIZES!!

Pink & Main is kindly giving away a $50 store credit to FIVE lucky, random commenters!! Please note: You must comment on every stop of the hop to qualify to win!! Good luck!

Today is the day we celebrate the latest release from My Creative Time! As you've seen from the sneak peeks, it's an amazing one!! You should have arrived from the lovely Miss Kendra's blog. But you can find the full hop list here.

Today, I'm showing you the new Lucky Bird Die. I love this little die so much! It will be a great addition to your stash of dies!

I went with a bit of a rainbow theme for my card today. I used a variety of inks to create rainbow stripes of paper which I adhered behind a heart cut out.

I coloured the bird using alcohol markers because I wanted a nice bright look. The branch comes from the new A Friend Like You Stamp and Die Set. I love how this little bird goes with EVERYTHING in this release!!

I white heat embossed the sentiment, which is from the Friend Like You Set. I probably should have waited a little longer for the ink to dry before I stamped as I had a few strays of embossing powder. I added some leaves from the Stitched Pretty Flowers and Leaves Die Set. I think adding these small leaves really makes a huge difference!

And that's my card for you today!! Up next on the hop is the talented Miss Ruthie!!!

Welcome to the last day of sneak peeks for the 89th Edition Release from My Creative Time!! This sneak happens to be the freebie this month and you won't want to miss it!! I'll have more details at the end of this post on how to get this die for free.

This little die is called Lucky Bird and will be free for the first 25 shoppers! Hint: Shop early :)

This card combines elements from all the new release items. I used the branch from the A Friend Like You Set and the sentiment comes from the Amazing Things Stamp Set. For some quick colouring of the bird, I used Distress Inks in Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry and Peacock Feathers. To complete the branch, I used a die from the Stitched Pretty Flowers and Leaves Die Set.

I adhered the darling birdie on the largest doily from the Bunch of Stitched Doily Dies which I loosely watercoloured with a watercolour crayon from Lyra. I decided to use some woodgrain cardstock that I've had in my stash forever. I cut a panel to fit the front of the A2 card base.

The sentiment was heat embossed on a strip of black paper and everything was adhered using foam adhesive.

I love this cute bird die and I think you will too!!

Welcome, it's Sneak Peek Day Two for My Creative Time!! You won't be disappointed with what's being peeked today!!

We are showcasing the brand new Amazing Things Stamp Set along with the new Butterfly Dies!! These go together perfectly! And you are going to LOVE the sentiments in this set!

I used the Floating Cloud Dies that we took a look at yesterday. I love how these nestle into corners!! This card is a bit of an unusual size due to a cutting error but I think it's actually quite nice. It measures 6 X 3 inches.

I used Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Ink for the panel along with some water droplets. The sentiment is gorgeous and was white heat embossed after the panel was dry.

Now, let's talk about those butterflies! I love the stitching detail and how the inner portion of the wings are able to flip up. I should mention that there is a large butterfly die in this set that I didn't use!!

This card came together quickly as it took no time at all to do the colouring with Distress Oxides Inks and a little bit of die cutting!! But the result is so pretty!!

I hope you are enjoying the peeks so far!! Tomorrow we will have one more peek and then Friday is the release Blog Hop!!

Thank you for stopping in!! See you tomorrow!

Hello, my friends and welcome!! Today is Day One of sneak peeks for the latest release from My Creative Time!! This release is going to blow you away. It is so beautiful!

Today we are taking a look at two new items. The first is a stamp and die set called Friend Like You and the second is a fabulous set of dies called Floating Cloud Dies.

The Friend Like you set has beautiful bird images that are perfect and fun for colouring along with uplifting and encouraging sentiments. This set pairs perfectly with the new Floating Cloud Dies, which are going to be my "go to" cloud dies!!

I cut down a watercolored panel using these dies and layered them using a combination of tape runner and foam adhesive. This gave a pretty cool look.

I hope you enjoyed today's little peek of these soon to be released products! Come back tomorrow for another sneak...FYI, you're going to love it!!

Welcome!! It's time for our monthly blog hop for Scrap 'N Stamp Canada and it's a good one...PUNS!!! Who doesn't like a good pun?? Sometimes they make your eyes roll but mostly they're good for a laugh!!

For my card today, I used the Birthday Bears Stamp Set from My Favourite Things. This set is full of the most adorable bear images. And while it isn't a new release, this set is definitely one of my faves from MFT.

I went with a fairly clean and simple look today as I wanted that bear to be the main focus of the card.
